Bet On The 2013 Coral Charge

The much more prestigious Eclipse Stakes is held on the same day as the Coral Challenge, but this is not to say that the Coral Challenge won’t be receiving its fair share of attention on race day. The field lining up for the race is a very balanced one, and the short distance to be covered is sure to offer up an exciting and tight race. Epsom Dash winner Duke Of Firenze takes the course as favourite for the race, and fighting him for the duration of the 1011 metres will be Kingsgate Native and Sprit Quartz.

Duke Of Firenze showed impressive speed on his way to victory in the Epsom Dash on Derby day. However, he could not repeat his feat at Royal Ascot a few weeks ago. He led the field in the bookies’ markets for the Wokingham Handicap, but ended up finishing a disappointing eighth. The Ryan Moore trained horse will have to step up his game if he wants to build on his Epsom victory, and Moore will be hoping that the Coral Charge is coming at a more favourable time of the season for his charge.

Winner of the Temple Stakes at Haydock, Kingsgate Native, is the top rated horse on official figures for the race, and was expected to compete in the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot but he, too, lagged behind the leaders, ending up at the end of the field. Robert Cowell will also be hoping for a better performance from his horse this time out. Cowell also has Spirit Quartz in the field. Sprit Quartz, who also finished well down at the Royal meeting, had won his previous race, a Group 2 race in France, and was also placed in some Group 1 races last season, such as the Nunthorpe Stakes in York.

Tickled Pink, joint favourite with Duke Of Firenze, started off the season in fine form, winning at Newmarket first up, but has since been well beaten in the her follow-up races. She has never raced at this distance, so the odds seem to be a bit short on this contender.
